‘Fathers And Daughters’ Trailer: Amanda Seyfried And Russell Crowe Have Issues By Angie Han/May 5, 2016 4:30 pm EST There probably isn’t a person alive who has not been shaped, in some way, by some lingering childhood trauma or another. In Gabriele Muccino’s Fathers and Daughters, those scars take center stage. Russell Crowe plays a writer and the doting father of an adorable daughter named Katie. But a painful incident tears the family apart, leaving little Katie to be raised by her aunt (played by Diane Kruger)....

Linklater has made a few movies that didn’t click with audiences right away, but like his financial hits, they’ve so far proven to have a staying power....

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2’: Brad Garrett Is The Voice Of Krang By Angie Han/May 19, 2016 4:00 pm EST Between Shredder and Baxter Stockman and Bebop and Rocksteady, you’d think our heroes in a half shell would have more than enough to contend with already. But apparently the filmmakers behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows didn’t think so, because they’re also throwing Krang into the mix. Earlier reports indicated that Saturday Night Live alum Fred Armisen would voice the squishy pink alien, but now Armisen’s out and Brad Garrett will be stepping up instead....

‘The BFG’ Featurette: How To Turn Mark Rylance Into A Big Friendly Giant By Jacob Hall/June 6, 2016 12:00 pm EST There’s a new Steven Spielberg movie in theaters in less than a month and that is a reason for celebration. Or it should be a reason for celebration. The BFG seems to be flying under the radar, lost in a sea of other big summer releases. And that’s a shame because it certainly looks lovely....

‘The Hallow’ Trailer: Mean Old Forest Creatures Come Calling By Russ Fischer/June 23, 2015 1:00 pm EST In The Hallow, a researcher moves into a home out in the rural Irish countryside, and soon finds that humans and animals aren’t the only residents of the woods.

Damon Lindelof Explains What The F––k Happened On Last Night’s ‘The Leftovers’ By Jacob Hall/Nov. 30, 2015 8:30 am EST And cliffhangers. Oh boy, has this season had some cliffhangers. Last week’s episode, which was set entirely in a dream/afterlife/purgatory and managed to not be totally obnoxious, ended on a series-changing note. Last night’s episode completely ignored those events to focus on other characters, but it also culminated with a gigantic twist that puts the events of the past nine episodes in new context....

David Rosenthal’s ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ Remake Will Star Michael Ealy By Jack Giroux/March 21, 2016 3:00 pm EST Jacob’s Ladder recently turned 25 years old. Adrian Lyne’s (Unfaithful) thriller didn’t perform spectacularly at the box office, but like some of the director’s other films, it’s aged considerably well.

Luke Mitchell Joins ‘Agents Of SHIELD’ As An Inhuman By Russ Fischer/Feb. 5, 2015 3:00 pm EST Last year when Marvel announced an Inhumans movie for 2018, not many people outside comics fandom knew what an Inhuman was. So Marvel has been using various channels to introduce the concept of the mutant-like characters to broad audiences. We’ll probably see a couple in Avengers: Age of Ultron when that film opens in May, but for now the bulk of the Inhumans outreach is being done by Agents of S....

Sean Astin Is “100 Percent” Positive ‘The Goonies 2’ Will Happen, But May Not Be In It By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 26, 2015 12:00 pm EST It’s time for another updating on the long-gestating development of The Goonies 2 from one of the child cast members who is now all grown up, and surprisingly, they’re not sick of talking about the possibility yet. Sean Astin has been acting for decades, and while fans likely always want to ask him about Rudy and Lord of the Rings, perhaps the more persistent question is with regards to a sequel to the Steven Spielberg produced, Richard Donner directed adventure The Goonies....

The ‘Legends Of The Hidden Temple’ TV Movie Casts Original Host Kirk Fogg Because Why Not? By Jacob Hall/March 23, 2016 2:00 pm EST A few weeks ago, we learned that Nickelodeon is reviving Legends of the Hidden Temple as a TV movie and ’90s nostalgia began to flare up all over the internet. Grown men and women – sitting in cubicles, inching through rush hour, preparing for important dates, attending secret sex parties in secluded mansions – all paused whatever they were doing as they flashed back to a simpler time....
